Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
1247-53 N. Front Street is a fee-simple, fully turn-key mixed-use offering that includes the operating Front Street Cafe business, a Pennsylvania R liquor license, and all furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) necessary for day-one operations. The restaurant occupies three floors, with an expansive ground-floor dining room and bar and a second-floor event and dining level. An outdoor space is included for al fresco dining, private events, and outdoor bar service, providing an on-site amenity for guest experience.
The property also includes four fully leased residential units. These residences are part of the same ownership and are currently grossing $95,400 per year in annual revenue, creating a blended income stream alongside the restaurant operations.
For owner-operators and investors seeking a property that can run day-one as a combined hospitality and rental operation, this build provides both an in-place restaurant footprint and multiple residential tenants under one roof. The inclusion of the liquor license and FF&E reduces start-up friction, while the restaurant’s multi-level layout and dedicated outdoor area support a range of dining and event-style usage.
